Designed for Mountainous and Uneven Job Sites
Federservizi general manager Martina Tomasi said:
“As a rental company, the XTJ 32 and TZJ 180 are practical models for the types of work carried out by our customers. Being located in Trentino-Alto Adige, our customers typically face sites with uneven ground and significant slopes, so in terms of working height and performance, they are ideal for their needs.”

Paola Palazzani added:
“We are proud to strengthen our collaboration with Federservizi, a dynamic company focused on service quality. The choice of the TZJ180 and XTJ32 models confirms our range’s ability to meet the real needs of the professional rental sector, even in the most complex environments.”
